Summer Veggie Lasagna Cupcakes image

This recipe calls for marinara sauce but you can use your favorite sauce or that jar stuff. There are several way to make these I use the Silicone cupcake liners makes very easy to unmold. Another way is use a mini muffin tin. It's size makes it perfect for a cocktail party or as an appetizer for a dinner party.

Number Of Ingredients 17

72 - wonton wrappers
1/2 - onions, vidalia, peeled, finely chopped
3 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 cup(s) zucchini, finely chopped
2 cup(s) yellow squash, finely chopped
1 cup(s) baby portebello mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup(s) ricotta cheese, low-fat
1 cup(s) mozzarella cheese, low-fat
1/2 cup(s) parmesan cheese, fat-free

1/2 teaspoon(s) italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/4 teaspoon(s) peppercorns, tricolored ground

3 - green onions tops

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Sauté garlic and onions in the olive oil. Add zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and two tablespoons of basil. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, roughly 5 minutes. Add sauce and stir to combine.
  • If using mini muffin tin I trim corners of wonton wrappers so that they fit conformable in the. For the large Silicone cupcake liners I start with one then with a circle cutter to fit.
  • From bottom to top, each "cupcake" should be layered as follows: wonton wrapper/teaspoon of sauce mix/ricotta/mozzarella/parmesan/sauce and vegetable mixture/ next layer /wonton wrapper circle/ricotta/mozzarella/parmesan/sauce and vegetable mixture last layer /wonton wrapper/sauce and vegetable mixture/mozzarella/parmesan/dollop of extra sauce
  • cut green onions tops into ribbons garnish.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly, let cool a bit.
